Two San Antonio restaurants earned spots in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Texas, bringing the city’s total to 16 recognized restaurants.
SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio’s food scene just added two more reasons to make dinner reservations.
Lovers Pizzeria and Petit Coquin have earned spots in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Texas, adding fresh recognition to the Alamo City’s growing culinary reputation, Visit San Antonio announced Thursday.
The two restaurants received MICHELIN Recommended recognition, a designation distinct from earning a MICHELIN Star. Their additions bring San Antonio’s total to 16 restaurants recognized in the guide, which includes 149 restaurants across Texas this year.
Whether you’re in the mood for a pizza night or looking to try something new, the latest additions give local food lovers two more names to add to their dining lists.
“San Antonio’s culinary scene continues to grow and evolve, and we’re thrilled to see two more of our outstanding restaurants recognized by The MICHELIN Guide,” Visit San Antonio President and CEO Mario Bass said.
Bass said the recognition highlights the range of restaurants and culinary talent that make the city appealing to both visitors and locals.
